After much trial and error on the baby blanket that did the sturdy Malabrigo Rios not the slightest harm, I ripped to the beginning yet again today and went back to the pattern I’d started out with in the first place. (After going up three needle sizes on this fifth attempt; I’ve been out of worsted-weight practice.)
This is what I’d wanted all along: Barbara Walker’s “Dragonskins” pattern. Good and solid, and what it needed to be. Because every little boy deserves to be dressed in dragons.

I need to knit something with that Rios . . . maybe I can talk my boss into needing a shop model?
